Join us for a fascinating day trip to Detroit
to learn about the African American
Experience. First, we will attend a guided
tour of the exhibition, “And Still We
Rise”. The journey begins in prehistoric
Africa, the cradle of human life. Guests
then witness several ancient and early
modern civilizations that evolved on
the continent. Crossing the Atlantic
Ocean, experiencing the tragedy of the
middle passage, our trip encounters those
who resisted the horrors of bondage,
emancipated themselves and sometimes
took flight by way of the Underground
Railroad. Throughout this journey, the
efforts of Detroit men and women who
built families, businesses, educational
institutions, spiritual traditions, and civic
organizations are hailed. Next, there
will be time to visit other galleries in the
Museum, as well as the gift shop. Then,
we will partake a yummy pizza lunch.
Afterwards, our group will participate in a
workshop, “Ring of Genealogy”. We will
collage a picture that represents your own
family history. You will be able to take
home this personalized keepsake. Don’t
miss this powerful experience!

Think of the savings! Once you learn

dress up your table. Join us for the fun!
